Maybe Bernie Sanders is exactly what the Golden State Warriors needed.

Sanders arrived at halftime to watch Game 7 of the Western Conference finals in Oakland, Calif. The Oklahoma City Thunder were up, 48-42 over the Warriors. The winning team would face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. The losing team would go home.

With Sanders watching, the Warriors outscored the Thunder by 17 points in the third quarter on their way to a 96-88 win, setting up a rematch for the title with the Cavaliers.

More realistic Sanders fans saw the game as a “good omen,” rather than cause-and-effect. Sanders told reporters, according to CNN: “”They turned it around, I think that is what our campaign is going to do as well; a very good omen for our campaign.”

Skeptics, however, noted that Hillary Clinton has already built a near-insurmountable delegate lead over Sanders, and predicted disappointment:

Sanders supporters and Warriors fans: you had never met one 18 months ago & won’t meet one again 18 months from now. https://t.co/vx9wCFjtqQ
